Same routes getting branding

[B.C Driver]

 I hope 7000 will be unbranded so it can go on other routes like it's predecessor.

Where will the numbering jump to next given all the Dundee 7xxx that are still on the system? 7500?

WN 6777 now branded for the X8

I saw 7500 on the M6 earlier today heading for The Expressway

Tony has made it clear that fleet numbers are currently not being repeated, but what is the cut off date for this. For example recently delivered 7000 was once a Fleetline.

I don't know the exact date, but it is from when there was about 300 Metrobuses left as there are about that many numbers blocked between 2400 & 3124

Somewhere between 2001-3124 if I remember correctly.

Presumably it's to avoid duplication on a spreadsheet/database within NX, and anything pre the Metrobuses wouldn't have been on a computer and manually recorded.

Or am I wrong?

There were approx 450 left in July 2004. So late 2005 then?

[markcf83]

I'm guessing here, but I suspect that most of the numbers above 2800,if indeed not all of them, won't be able to be used.
